Community vibes in the San Gabriel foothills
Situated 30 miles east of Los Angeles in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, South La Verne offers residents extensive shopping and dining, excellent schools and beautiful outdoor opportunities. “There’s just a ton of stuff to do here; you’ve got the mountains and a very walkable downtown area with great restaurants,” says Jason Lorge of Mr. and Mrs. La Verne Realty. The town cultivates a close community vibe that isn’t easy to find in Southern California. Residents come together routinely for seasonal events — the holidays are a big deal. “This is one of the last cities around that has a small-town feel; you see somebody you know every time you go to the store or dinner,” says Century 21 Masters agent Robert Cofer, a lifelong resident of the San Gabriel Valley.

Fourth of July parade through Old Town
The small-town feel is cultivated in La Verne through community events, which are particularly robust around the holidays. “The Fourth of July is massive; I’ll have 200 people at my house. The parade route serpentines around Old Town and police have to stop people from setting up on the street a week in advance,” Cofer says. Halloween is another big one, with people decorating their entire house and lines of cars outside with people seeking selfies. “On Bonita, one door will need 2,000 pieces of candy, and even with one piece per person, you’re still going to run out,” Cofer says. The Christmas celebration wraps up the year with a very sweet tradition. “On Christmas morning, the fire department takes out all the fire trucks and different Santas drive by every house in La Verne,” Cofer says. While some holidays bring in people from all over, Christmas tends to be just locals.
Character-filled homes in Old Town
According to Cofer, South La Verne starts below the 210 and has more attainably priced properties than the north, with some contemporary estate homes over $2 million. South of the 210, there is a range of properties, from manufactured homes priced between $100,000 and $300,000 to single-family offerings ranging from around $600,000 to $1 million. There is a condo community west of North White Avenue with units priced between $300,000 and $450,000. “North of the foothills used to be more desirable because of newer builds from the 1970s and ‘90s, but the character homes around Old Town are becoming much more popular,” Cofer says. “There are 1930s Craftmans, bungalows and Spanish-inspired homes with stucco and roof tiles.” And on just about any residential street in the city, you can expect to see a pleasant mix of palms and shade trees, plus gorgeous views of the nearby hills and mountains.
Manufactured homes priced between $100,000 and $300,000 can be found in South La Verne.
Single-family homes in South La Verne can range from around $600,000 to $1 million.

A-rated Bonita Unified district
Families with children are served by Bonita Unified, a highly rated public school district graded A by Niche. “This is a good school district that attracts residents, and there are great private options as well,” Cofer says. Kids can start their education at La Verne Heights Elementary, a walkable community school is graded A by Niche. Another A school, students then advance to Ramona Middle School. Graded A-minus by Niche, San Dimas High School has been named a California Distinguished School three times and has made Newsweek's list of America's Best High Schools. Damien High School is an all-boys Catholic school known as a sports and academic powerhouse. “The school is really prestigious with a premier hockey team; they have good everything,” Cofer says.
Ramona Middle School receives an A rating from Niche.

University of La Verne at the center
A private institution founded in 1891, the University of La Verne is a centerpiece of the city. “The university is like a park in and of itself, and the school has a great reputation, especially its law school,” Cofer says. “If it wasn’t so small, it could feel like an Ivy League Campus with the brick buildings and the mature greenery.”
Picnics at Las Flores Park
There are many opportunities for South La Verne residents who prioritize outdoor recreation. Walkable to most neighborhoods, the city maintains several local parks like Emerald and Las Flores parks, perfect for enjoying a peaceful picnic, playground play date or a pleasant game of pick-up basketball. To really get out into nature, there is hiking and biking along the Marshall Canyon Trail, which winds through the north side of town and runs all the way into the San Gabriels. Marshall Canyon Equestrian Center is one of the more popular stables in the valley, offering horseback riding lessons and trail rides along the pasture roads that wind through the foothills.
South La Verne residents can enjoy a game of pickle ball at Las Flores Park.

Gastropubs and boutiques
The town’s shopping and dining is split between two locations. Shopping centers line Route 66 in the center of town, including multiple grocery stores and big-box stores like Target, Marshalls and Big Lots. There are also various highly rated local restaurants like Fukuya Sushi and La Creperie Cafe. The downtown area, known locally as Old Town, is a more quaint and walkable experience. Located next to the University of La Verne’s stately 66-acre campus, Old Town features a selection of locally owned shops and boutiques like Heart of Haute, alongside popular eateries like Asian fusion restaurant Bowl House. It’s also home to most of the town’s nightlife, which centers around gastropubs like Lordsburg Taphouse & Grill.
A stroll through Old Town near South La Verne can easily turn into a shopping spree.
Residents have access to local grocery shopping at La Verne's very own Amazon Fresh Market.

Connecting to Los Angeles via I-10
La Verne is a bedroom community about 30 miles west of Los Angeles via I-10, a reasonable drive by SoCal standards that takes under an hour at rush hour. The closest airport is Brackett Field Airport, which is under 2 miles away. The 210 runs through the city, connecting San Bernadino to the east and Pasadena to the west. “Traffic in town moves pretty well. People used to use Route 66 for through traffic, but not anymore,” Cofer says. “Foothill Boulevard, Arrow Highway and Bonita Avenue can get pretty busy when school is in, and White Avenue gets slammed during the LA County Fair.” Foothill Transit operates bus service for the San Gabriel and Pomona valleys, and the Metrolink line offers service to Union Station in downtown LA.
South La Verne sits just below the 210 and about 30 miles east of Los Angeles.
Getting around South La Verne is made easy via Metro, which runs along Bonita Ave.

Safe, small community with well-kept grounds. Close enough to LA and OC to travel there for entertainment, but far enough away that it is still quiet and nice.
